Puerto Vallarta - Mexico at its most colourful

Vacations as they were meant to be! Puerto Vallarta offers a delicious serving of local culture and beauty in extraordinary surroundings. Spectacular mountains, golden-sand beaches and the majestic Pacific Ocean serve as the backdrop for an exciting whirl of daytime activities ranging from surfing, golfing, whale watching and eco-tourism high up in the Sierra Madre. After sunset, head to the most authentic restaurants in town for fresh seafood and gourmet meals, followed by a stroll along the Malecon boardwalk and dancing the night away at trendy discos. As for excursions, Nolitours have something for everyone! You can watch the sun set as you sail to Las Caletas for a dinner-show on the beach, or visit this private cove during the day for some fun in the sun. Thrill-seekers will love the sensation of freedom as they zip line through the forest, race up remote dirt roads on an ATV or ride a speedboat around Banderas Bay.

Riviera Nayarit - Mexico's Pacific paradise

This unique destination perfectly blends beautiful beaches and cultural attractions with historic landmarks and colonial charm. It is a decidedly hip and urban environment filled with bars, restaurants and shops. Snorkelling and kayaking are a must in the crystal clear waters of Majahuitas Bay, topped off with a stroll through the fishing village of Yelapa, leisure time on the beach or hiking through the jungle. You can choose to journey back into time with a tour of San Sebastian, or opt for an entertaining dinner-cruise on a Spanish-style galleon accompanied by pirates. Visit the waterfalls, go horseback riding or explore some of the most remote areas and villages along Banderas Bay for a taste of the real Mexico. Those in search of a bargain will get great deals on tons of fabulous finds at Puerto Vallarta’s colourful market. Let’s say you’ll find plenty to see and do outside of your resort!
